  1. August Bank Holiday in the UK.....Long weekend.
  2. I have found just pointing at them without a stick works.
  3. But these are just Bar/Restaurants, not night spots. No airport has 'night spots' nor 'entertainment venues'. Something else is going on here.
  4. Looks like it is at 2100: https://www.thailandee.com/en/transportation-thailand/bus/buses-from-suvarnabhumi-airport-to-nong-khai If you search to Korat (NR) there is no result but to Khon Kaen u get the same bus. So Im sure it would stop at Korat.

    Elder care at home

    There are Thai employment agencies who find staff for such work, which, like everything else, can be searched and contacted online (by your Thai wife if in Thai). My Thai partner (while Im in the UK), has found live-in work in BKK as a nanny/housekeeper with a wealthy Chinese family through such an agency. She also has a friend who lives in and cares for an elderly lady, now bedridden, with Dementia. For this work (dementia) I would think the right attitude and disposition would be more important than being medically trained.
  6. There is no logic or reasoning in Thailand.
  7. No. There is no such thing as shame in Thailand. Thats why virtually no one in Thailand says sorry. They dont feel bad (shame) if they do something wrong so they dont feel the need to say sorry.
  8. I was offered the vaccine for the 1st time in the UK at 70 yrs old last Autumn. But it was just after I arrived in Thailand for the Winter so I missed out. S o d's Law I got shingles just after Christmas and Im still suffering (albeit very mildly now) from nerve pain with 'Post Herpetic Neuralgia'. So if u can get the vaccine get it as it is not nice! And if u do get shingles take antivirals ASAP as that dumbs down the rash considerably. they are available over the pharmacy counter in Thailand as are the special painkillers for shingles called 'gabapentin'.
  9. Thank you but is there an English version?
  10. How about a map showing all these new lines for those who dont live in BKK but visit from time to time and havent a clue where they are going...lol?
  11. I agree with you. My IO is appalling. You could write to the head office in Bangkok. I think that that there should be some kind of national anonymous feedback facility for the services provided. Customer feedback is very big in the UK now. The big wigs in Bangkok could then see if certain offices are problematic or failing in providing the service that they should be. That is if they actually care which they probably do not. I noticed that Udon Thani IO had a suggestion box which is great, but they are a shining example of a good office; polite, friendly, helpful and efficient. But it is the bad offices that need a suggestion box not the good ones.
  12. Dont tell them you came back Thursday. My landlord never tells them on time with the TM30; Usually after about a week and tells them I arrived yesterday.
  13. Why? He is/was no more corrupt than the rest of the Thai system.
  14. So the previous year they said nothing about the gallstone which could be a tumor? I dont think I will be going there for a medical!
  15. "Clam-bushed"? Sick headline trying to make light of a tragic event!
  16. This is how Capitalism works. Advertising and easy credit is designed to entrap and enslave you to a life of craving, debt, work and stress. And you wonder why the Thai smile has disappeared!
  17. Dont use the Wise shortcut. Choose 'pay manually' and 'pay later'. Then go to your bank account and transfer the payment to Wise. Or pay it to Wise manually before you make the transfer.
  18. Dont you have online banking in the US to enable instant online transfers (We call them 'faster payments' in the UK) from your US bank account to Wise? It is cheaper too, than paying by card.
  19. Me too. Dont they have online banking in the US to enable instant online transfers (We call them 'faster payments' in the UK)from a US bank account to Wise?
